HAPPY TAILS: AMBER AND JADE

We just LOVE happy endings! It was wonderful to meet Amber's and Jade's new families! These girls are going to be SPOILED! That's how we like it :)

Amber (now Appa) is going to live with a wonderful family with 2 precious young boys and a canine playmate, Abby (also a rescue- adopted this summer). Thank you Paul and Susan for giving our baby such a wonderful life!

Jade (now Maddie) is another lucky gal. She gets to live on 10 acres with her parents, Jeri and Bret, and their sons, Kyle and Kevin. Oh and she too will have a canine playmate!


Appa pictured with Paul and Susan and their adorable boys!


The boys meeting their new puppy for the first time- LOVE IT!

How sweet!

Malachite trying to put on the charm too!

This is what Paul wrote: "All tuckered out. Appa is doing just great. Took her to the vet on Friday and she gained a pound since the adoption. Abby is so happy to have her as a sister."
Another sweet picture of Appa with her new sis Abby!

A picture- she was rescued from a shelter in Missouri. Another very very lucky pup!

Here is the proud new owner of Jade (now Maddie)! Jeri wanted to surprise her husband Bret with a new pup! Jeri's son Kyle actually picked Jade (what a great choice for them!). Word is Maddie is doing fabulous and we will definitely post new pictures as we receive them. It was wonderful to meet you both and we couldn't be happier that Jade/Maddie found you!

Jeri with Maddie..love at first sight!

I'm going HOME!!!

Kyle and Jeri leaving with our baby!
Maddie letting us know everything will be ok!

MORE FUN IN WI: VISITING STERLING AND MALACHITE


We are so thankful to Emily and Tim for fostering our babies Sterling and Malachite! All foster families are amazing because that is often the difference between life and death for a pet in need.

After dinner at a Mexican Restaurant, we all went back to their house to see them one last time. Kevin and I were just amazed at everyone's hospitality. If it weren't so darn cold there we would move there tomorrow (lol).

Kevin and his babies!
Emily with her foster kitty!

Russ joining in on the action too!
You can't help but play with these two!

Emily and Tim! Thanks again guys!
Denise and Corey (Denise's and Russ' daughter)- love this picture!
Oh you just can't get enough of this boy!
Corey giving some love to Malachite!

We know you guys are in good hands!

Had to sneak in a little Ping Pong too!

Good thing I didn't play...these ladies are serious about their Ping Pong!

MEET & GREET FOR ANNA TURNS INTO HER ADOPTION!

Kevin and I were so fortunate to be able to be a part of the "Meet and Greet" process for adoptions. Jason and Becky fell in love with Anna and her adoption was finalized last Wednesday- YAY! Pet Supplies Plus is the wonderful store that hosts these events!


Anna poured on the charm!

How cute are they! They belong together :)

Steve hanging out at the "kitty adoption area"

Isn't this the coolest cat enclosure! Perfect for adoption events!
Kevin is ready to move to Wisconsin...well not really, but we did enjoy it!

Anna was able to have some fun with new friends before her adoption was finalized!
Tug-of-war with her new friend, Georgie boy! Georgie came from the Forrest City Animal Shelter in Arkansas (he stayed with us for a short time).
Finally someone who matches her play style!

A WONDERFUL VISIT WITH JAIME, GLEN, AND RILEY!

Not sure if anyone remembers Cinnamon and Mac, but these first few pictures were taken back in June. These siblings were originally from the Osceola Animal Shelter in Arkansas. Well, these lucky babies took a trip to our friends in Wisconsin in June (if my mind is working correctly). Both of these cuties have been adopted! The greatest part is that Mac (now Riley) was adopted by our WI friends Jaime and Glen! We were so excited to visit this little guy (well BIG guy now at 65 pounds!) during our visit. Thank you Jaime and Glen for providing such a wonderful home for him! We had so much fun visiting all of you!

Mac when he was just a little guy not long ago!
He was handsome even then!


Here is Riley now at approximately 10 months old now and is not only precious, but he's the sweetest boy you will ever meet!
Glen playing frisbee with his boy!
Glen with his boy again!

Look how big he is...crazy!

Kevin was just amazed with him (as was I)

Riley knows so many tricks- what a great family he has to spend time with him!

Riley wouldn't leave Kevin alone...I KNOW he remembered Kevin!

So happy to see Riley :)

Riley with his mommy Jaime


Riley loves his kitty friend (sometimes too much- lol).


Awww kisses for Riley!

HANGING OUT AT THE ADOPTION CENTER IN NEENAH, WI!

Here are some more pictures of the clan hanging out at the Adoption Center when we arrived. We are so fortunate to have wonderful friends "up north" to help us out! Kevin and I thank each and every one of you for your part in this amazing rescue- we love you guys!
